No.
No, because you are keeping the ground from drying out by shading it.
It depends how valuable the clippings are to you. If you are saving them to feed a horse in winter, then you have to balance the cost of drying them against the cost of buying hay later on. The sun is the most cost-effective way of drying grass. This is how farmers have made hay for hundreds of years. * Cut the grass and leave it to dry in the fields. * Turn the drying grass from time to time so that it all dries evenly. * Gather the grass and store it (in haystacks or barns) so that it stays dry till it is needed. The cost of using fossil fuel to run a drying machine would seem to put it into the too-expensive haybasket.
Freeze-drying is a chemical change because it changes the actual composition of the object by removing water.

Drying (involving only the water evaporation) is a physical change.
